another packing question

[Octoberbabiesrus]

anyone have a list ready to fire off of the essentials?

I know, clothes, undies, suncreens, etc... but what did you all pack???

 

[jewelshouse]

Stuff for kids to do on the plane, tylenol, allergy stuff, bandaids (I ususally carry one of those $1 first aid kits) zip lock bags, aftersun, clickable sharpies (for autographs), backpack or something or carry in the park, extra batteries, extra tape or memory card for camcorder/camera, $1 ponchos, $1 hand held fans (I got mine at walmart), cell phone charger (I always forget mine).

That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure there are things I am leaving out.

If you chew gum, be sure to take what you'll need for the trip if you won't be going off site. No gum is sold at WDW. Never gave it a thought, but my BFF chews gum and we discovered the lack thereof in 2003!

Geek bag: Everything you need for electronics. Chargers, cords, extension cord, telephone cords/connectors to jerry rig telephone line for brief computer use (works great, it's just slow!), extra batteries, manuals (if needed). Anything not actually connected to the electronics.

OTC meds are a must for me. Antihistimine, cold & flu, pain relief. The resort prices are high if you need anything of that sort. I just take a small amount; if I have to purchase more, so be it!

Eyeglasses, contact lens supplies, sunglasses, extra contact lenses. I take a spare pair of sunglasses. I rarely lose or break them, but did manage it once! *LOL*

wow I am impressed, I am sooo copying your list.

Rolaids. All that heavy eating down there sure gives me a ton of heartburn!

The only thing I could find that was missing from the list is Earplugs!

I picked up a great check-list style list on the Dis a few months ago that even includes things to do with house and pets before leaving. If you'd like to see it just PM me with your e-mail and I'll send it.

The pp's list above is GREAT! I pulled a few items from that one to add to my own. There are just a couple of suggestions that I offer:

*Pal Mickey - if you have one... don't forget him at home... we did... ONCE!
*Insulated Bags - I purchased these at a dollar general - for July trip - plan to bring ice/rags in these to cool off while waiting.
*Extra shoes for everyone - if they get wet, awful putting them on the next
day wet... and better to not wear same pair two
consecutive days (as seen on Oprah)
*Drink Mixes - we are bringing Wyler's Light drink mixes to put in our water
*Pillows/Favorite stuffed toy - I must have my own pillow in order to sleep
and the little ones might not sleep w/o their fave toy
*Stroller - If you have a compact stroller, you can save quite a bit this way
*Laundry Soap/Softener - If you are doing laundry, bring your soap/softener
home. These are VERY expensive at resorts. Also, putting
a couple of fabric softener sheets in luggage is great tip

I am going to keep checking with this thread to make sure to update my list. If you guys have any other tips... please post. Have a magical day!

If visiting water parks, water shoes, my kids use them.
